At Last.

At last we have the pleasure of an
nouncing the fact that one of our co.ored
citizens has gone into the real estate
business. Mr.. Il. H. Lyles whose add
Vertisement appears on our first page is
well known in this community and
needs no introduction at our hands. He
came to this city about thirteen years
ago with comparatively nothing, but by
his thrift. foresight and economy he
now has eight houses paying him rent
al of $1,000 per year besides his we'll
established business. He now proposes
to help those Of our people who desire
to purchase property by selling them a
portion Of that which he controls. There
are very few of our young men who
earn less than four or five hundred
dollars per year, and certainly by strict
economy they could each save one hun
dred dollars from their earnings to in
vestin property. Mr.Lyles has some good
lots which he can sell for the small sum
of one hundred dollars per year. The
main trouble about buying property is
to begin; once started, you keep it up,
and almost before one knowns it, he is
the owner of good home. Read Mr..
Lyles' advertisement and then call up
on him, and he will take you to see any
ofthe property on his list, and will not
fail to make satisfactory terms with any
and all. He has had so much of this
business on his hands lately that he:
determined to 80 regularly into the
business of dealing in real estate, feeling
that in this way he can be Of consider
able service to those who are really
anxious to own their own homes.
Mortgage, loans can be obtained of him,
at reasonable rates. We hope our read
ers will not think too long about this
matter, but will begin now, to better
theircondition. More fortunes have been
made out of real estate in this city than
in any other way, and the opportunities
are as good now as they ever were.

The Hair and Beard After Death.

Sitting in the office of the Comptrol-
Ter of the Treasury the other day were
two gentlemen waiting for the prepar
alton OF some document which the
bureau WAS just about completing, On
the wall opposite hung fine oil pOr-
trait of Salmon L. Chase, the first
comptroller, showing him as a hand
some, fiOrid-face man, without beard
and with head partially bald.
THAT doesn't look much as he did a
year ago." said one of them, noting
the handsome portrait.
"a year ago; why, he has been dead
these ten years or more, hasn't hep"
"Y es, eighteen of them. Yet | saw
him only year ago with full beard
and a full head of hair, very different
from the picture you see before us.''
"What do you mean?'
"Simply this. l was present when
his remains were taken from Oak View
Cemetery for transmission toCincinnati
year ago. Although seventeen year:
had elapsed the remains Were still in an
almost perfect state. The features
were entirely dlstlnguishable to those
who knew him in lie. The clothing
was in perfect state of preservation.
The principal changes were that the
face was dark, and instead of being
smooth, as was his custom in lie, II
was covered with a full growth OF
beard, two inches or so in length and
mixed with gray. The head, which you
see was bald in life, was covered with
a full suit Of hair, partly gay"

PROFESSIONAL PALLBEARING
y Gloomy Trade, but Very Easy and
EminentIy Respectable.

He was gloomy lacking sort of Der
son and his face wore an expression of
woe that made one think he had II
stamped there as q sort of trade mark.
lie was clad in garments of the somber-
est hue. and from the wide weed on
his high hat to the dead polish on his
broad soled shoes he looked for all the
world like man IN whose family there
WAS a death at least once year.
When he came into the street Car a
sort of hush fell upon the passengers
out OF respect for his placarded sorrow.
By and by the gloomy man was asked
II he had met with bereavement
lately.
mo, indeed" lie replied, "there has
not been a death in my family for
years"
why, then" asked his neighbor,
with more curiosity than politeness,
do YOU dress in such deep mornIngY"
''Ob, that's on account of my busi-
-1zs -
- You are an undertaken, thenp''
''NO, l am pail bearer" and not
ing the look of surprise in his interloc-
utOr's face he went on: ''SOme years
ago there was a strike in my trade. l
am carpenter, and during one of my
idle days l passed a house where there
Was funeral. Stopping TO watch it |

asked Inc If was going to the funeral

then asked me if had any objection to
being a pail bearer. l SAID | had none,

tinally struck a bargain. ! made as
much that afternoon as 1 would had /

rs you see, and each morning look over
the death notices | have found that
my services are very seldom required
when the funeral is that of a young
man or woman, or where the dece iSed
has belonged TO any secret societies, and
that my most profitable customers Are
those who have Outlived most of their
companions. If the dead person hip

nerals the proportion of femSle attend

rule to select the pail bearers from
among those not connected with the
family you can see that my services are
very frequently in demand. / generally
seek out the undertaken and make
ny bargain with him, and | average
about two funerals "A day. 1t is a nice,
